    I see they quote Haggai 2:8 “‘The silver is mine, and the gold is mine,’ declares Jehovah of armies."

    If this were true then why does the WT constantly badger the congregations for money all the time.

    MaybeSo,

    That last missing space was probably just a copy/paste error. If you see his first post, the 'to' and 'gather' are on separate lines. Probably were joined when he tried to correct the formatting for the 2nd post.

    I disagree about the term auditorium not being used often. In this case, congregation wouldn't be used as that term refers to the individual congregations that attend a single kingdom hall. They could have just used the term 'kingdom hall' without adding auditorium, but the usage of auditorium narrows down certain sentences. If they said kingdom hall capacity instead of 'auditorium capacity', this could be mistaken to mean that they would be including the capacity of secondary rooms (2nd and 3rd school rooms) when determining whether or not a kingdom hall was being used fully.

    I think this letter is legit. Consolidation is already happening in Australia (reported by news) and some parts of the US (reported on this site). They probably felt a need to send a letter to put their spin on it before the rumor mill took over.

    Not saying it is not possible, just saying it doesn't look very legit that's all.

    It's a real letter, appearing in elders' JW dot org sites all over the USA.

    If this is real then all I have to say is wow. Keeping more money to themselves without spending a dime in building more kingdum halls, overcrowding existing ones and creating issues with the building maintenance since they'll be used a whole lot more.

    That's just nuts.

    I'm sure this is real. It lays the groundwork for the crafty acts of building one hall for every three they close and take the lolly for!

    Be great if it happens here. More chance to hide.

    Yes, it is real. The reason for the misspelling was caused by me copy pasting and using my work computer that has too many restrictions.
